FULLERTON – The city’s Redevelopment Agency will bring its plan for a $42 million public parking structure near the Fullerton Transportation Center to the Planning Commission meeting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

The proposal calls for a recommendation for approval to the City Council for a major development in the redevelopment area, and for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a parking structure in an industrial zone at 130 W. Santa Fe Ave.

Parking on the 2.8 acre former World Citrus site would accommodate 850 cars on four levels – one below grade.

The Capital Improvement Project is mainly funded through state and county transportation money to bring additional parking for the increased number of riders aboard Amtrak Pacific Surfliner intercity rail service and Metrolink. The agency would put in $1.5 million.

Included in the plan is a pedestrian bridge across Harbor Boulevard and a traffic circle at the intersection of Malden and Santa Fe avenues to minimize the lining up of cars coming and leaving the parking structure from Malden.

In addition, a westbound left-turn pocket would be installed on Santa Fe between Harbor and the north-south alley to help motorists turn in to a secondary entrance.
